Walkway Gravel
A smaller ⅜” crushed stone that is great for paths, patios, and garden walkways. Comfortable under foot thanks to its smaller size, and creates a beautiful garden-like atmosphere.
Road Base

Commonly used for constructing roads, driveway bases, parking lots, and other paved and unpaved surfaces. Intended to be compacted, hence the inclusion of fines within the material to provide support and be resistant to erosion and shifting.

Why Corning Homeowners Choose Hello Gravel
Corning is a tight-knit community with a city population of 14,230 and sits within a larger metro area population of 2.5+ million. The area is growing steadily with a growth rate of 0.50% annually, and its climate—hardiness zone 8b with 228 sunny days per year and an annual rainfall of 34.25 inches—creates a reliable building season and specific landscaping needs. Local homeowners and small contractors are investing in driveways, drainage upgrades, and low-maintenance yards that perform year-round. Because soils in the region vary and standing water can occur after heavy rains, residents seek durable, well-graded aggregates that stabilize surfaces, improve drainage, and reduce upkeep. Gravel is often chosen because it balances permeability and compaction, complements Corning’s aesthetic, and suits both residential and light agricultural properties found locally. Gravel performs particularly well in Corning’s combination of sun and seasonal rain: angular, crushed mixes lock together for stable driveways, while pea gravel and washed blends provide fast surface drainage for paths and planting beds. Given the annual rainfall of 34.25 inches and the warm conditions of hardiness zone 8b, selecting washed, properly graded gravel helps prevent erosion and keeps mud from tracking into homes. Hello Gravel connects you with local suppliers who know regional geology and coordinates professional dump-truck delivery to your property. We provide transparent pricing, a material calculator, and expert guidance so homeowners get the right gravel for durable, low-maintenance results.Popular Projects in Corning This Season

Frequently Asked Questions - Corning gravel Delivery
Everything you need to know about gravel delivery in Corning.
Order in bulk through a single delivery to hit Hello Gravel's 3-ton minimum and avoid multiple small deliveries. Choose locally sourced basic crushed gravel (usually the least expensive) and schedule standard delivery (2+ business days) to avoid rush fees. Add clear access notes and correct measurements at checkout to prevent extra charges for re‑delivery.
A tri-axle dump truck typically carries about 10-12 cubic yards (roughly 14-17 tons) of gravel. Delivered cost varies by material and distance, but expect a wide range roughly between $600 and $1,500 for a full truck in Northern California; exact pricing depends on the gravel type and current local rates. Request a quote from Hello Gravel with your address for a precise number.
Calculate cubic yards by multiplying length x width x depth (in feet) and dividing by 27. For example, a 20 ft by 10 ft driveway at 3 inches deep is about 1.9 cubic yards (roughly 2.6 tons), which hits Hello Gravel's 3-ton minimum so you would order 3 tons. Basic crushed gravel delivered for that quantity in the Corning area will often fall in the $120 to $300 range; spreading/compacting by a pro adds labor costs (commonly $40-$100 per hour or $0.50-$2.00 per sq ft), so add that if you want installation.
For a durable residential driveway in Corning's dry Mediterranean climate, 2 to 3 inches of loose gravel is generally too thin and will rut and migrate. A common build-up is a 4-6 inch compacted base of crushed rock or crusher run, plus a 1-2 inch surface layer of decorative or compactable gravel, for a total of about 4-6 inches compacted. Thicker bases improve longevity and drainage, especially for vehicle traffic.
For driveways, crusher run (crush-and-run) or compactable crushed stone is the best choice because it locks together when compacted. For walkways, pea gravel or decorative washed gravel is comfortable underfoot but may need edging and a base. For drainage, clean washed gravel or 3/4" clean crushed rock is best. Price-wise, basic crusher run is usually the least expensive, washed/granular base is midrange, and decorative or river rock is typically the most expensive due to processing and aesthetics.
You can lay gravel directly on soil for temporary or light-use areas, but for driveways and high-traffic spots you should install a compacted base and a geotextile fabric to prevent mixing with soil and reduce maintenance. Adding a 4-6 inch crushed-rock base, fabric, and proper compaction improves stability and reduces long-term costs. Doing it properly raises material and labor costs upfront but saves time and money on repairs later.
Hello Gravel's minimum order is 3 tons. Standard delivery lead time is 2+ business days, and next-day delivery is available for orders placed before noon CST for an extra fee. Many areas qualify for free delivery, but when fees apply in rural Northern California they commonly range from $25 to $150 depending on distance and site access.
Some local suppliers and contracted haulers offer tailgate spreading or can connect you with installers, but spreading is done at the driver's discretion and is not guaranteed. Professional spreading and compaction contractors in the Corning area typically charge by the hour ($40-$100/hr) or by square foot ($0.50-$2.00/sq ft), depending on access, equipment, and site prep needs. Request spreading at checkout and call Hello Gravel to confirm options and get installer referrals.
Yes—Hello Gravel sources regionally, so many Northern California materials are locally sourced which can reduce delivery distance and cost. To order, enter your zip code on the site to see available local materials, choose your gravel type and quantity (minimum 3 tons), select a delivery date, and add any site-access notes. Contact our support team if you want help matching local materials or arranging larger hauls.
Next-day delivery is available with an additional fee for orders placed before noon CST; same-day delivery is sometimes possible but less common and depends on local supplier availability. For an accurate quote, suppliers need your delivery address, driveway/access dimensions, desired depth, preferred delivery date and time window, and any access constraints (gates, low wires, narrow drive). Provide clear photos and notes at checkout to speed quoting and reduce on-site surprises.
As of today, we require 2 business days for delivery.

We cannot get out of the truck and manually spread it. However, depending on the location, safety, and comfortability of the driver – we may be able to tailgate spread your material. This involves pulling the truck forward as material is being dumped to make it easier for you to distribute material after delivery.
The minimum order size is 3 tons.
